[Intro]
G G Em Em C C D D
[Verse 1]
G Bm
I remember when rock was young, me and Susie had so much fun
C D
Holding hands and skimmin' stones had a old gold Chevy & a place of my own
G Bm
But the biggest kick I ever got was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock
C D
While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock we were hoppin' and
boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well
[Chorus]
Em A7
Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still
D7 G
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.
E A7
Oh, Lawdy mamma those Friday nights when Susie wore her dresses tight and
D7 C G C G
the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight.
[Interlude]
G G Em Em C C D D
[Verse 2]
G Bm
But the years went by and rock just died, Susie went and left me for some foreign guy,
C D
Long nights cryin' by the record machine dreamin' of my Chevy & my old blue jeans but they'll
G Bm
Never kill the thrills we got burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
C D
Learning fast as the weeks went past, we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
[Chorus]

Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin' when your feet just can't keep still

I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.
